The Municipal Affairs Bureau said in a statement yesterday that it has found eight dead cats since November 28 near Dr Sun Yat Sen Municipal Park.
The statement said that according to a preliminary investigation, the bureau eliminated the possibility of the cats having been poisoned or abused, adding that their deaths could have been caused by disease. The statement underlined that the cases have been classified as dead animal bodies found.
According to the statement, the cadavers were found in the bushes, sewerage, electrical substations and other hidden spots. The statement underlined that some of the bodies were already in an advanced state of decomposition and had no obvious injuries so the IAM officials believed that they had been dead for a while.
The statement said that the bureau has been disinfecting the area and will monitor the stray cats around the area.
